Her Royal Science

In this episode, we speak with our featured guest from 02 Get a Cat, a close friend of mine who recently completed her PhD in Engineering. We talk about the value of outreach work, and the challenges she faced wrapping up her PhD during the COVID pandemic. Part of our conversation covers the drawbacks of staying in academia post-PhD, and the importance of an advocate, a person who can be honest with and supportive of graduate students walking the last mile towards the doctoral finish line.
